I tutor students that are homeschooled and it it so sweet to see how they are able to be their age, nit have too much to worry about, and are allowed to develop their own interests!!!
@@josuegalvez1 sign your kids up for K12 program. It's completely free and they send you everything you need. They have amazing teachers that teach your kids on the computer. My kids absolutely love it
@@josuegalvez1absolutely not omg!! Just look up how to register and YOURSELF as a homeschool! There’s tutorials that will walk you through the entire thing it’s great! I know it feels like it might be hard or that there’s a ton of work involved but there really isn’t when it’s broken down for you! Then you can just print out a couple of papers, fill those out and literally if your an in person type, walk right into the actual public school where their going or email them. In person usually works way faster obviously. Then make a request for all your child’s records at local school district and they HAVE to get all the files from when they were little ready for you to pick up. Everyone was super nice and I didn’t get anyone putting up a fight or get a single glare for taking my child out so don’t be afraid!! ❤
As a former homeschool kid, I cannot stress this enough SOCIALIZE YOUR KIDS. Their siblings are not equivalent to a friend group. Sports are not enough. You as the parent will need to actively put in the work to put your kids in regular contact with other kids their age.
True. Or just put them in actual school. Where they aren’t being deprived of that chance to experience school and be taught by actual teachers many of whom have masters degrees, and specialize in one subject.
@@Jenny-ls7hf I asked to be Homeschooled because of public school shootings. I expect homeschoolers to be held to the same academic standards as public schoolers, but I wouldn't tell them they must attend a popular target zone if they don't want to.
Same can be said for public schoolers. Do you know how many kids go to public school and have ZERO social life? I think this is a problem within our culture. We no longer connect in real life nor do things together as neighbors and as a community. 😢
I love this so much. I was homeschooled and now am in my early 20s getting my masters degree. I hope someday to be a homeschool mom, but definitely don't fit into the typical stereotype! My mom was a wonderful homeschool mom who reminds me so much of you! You inspire me!
@@dasaadzidk if your still considering homeschooling but as a homeschooler myself I have not felt bad whatsoever. I’m almost done with the grade I’m in, and it’s all gonna be worth it. I would say that if your kid is older and they don’t have a phone yet I would invest in one because that’s the only way I talk to old friends. If your kid is young then Co-oPs. But generally I think if they’re in school and they enjoy it then I wouldn’t recommend, but if it’s easier for you I would talk to your child and tell them about the idea. Also figure out the laws in your state for homeschoolers because some states are stricter than others. (I use Power Homeschool btw, it eliminates teaching them yourself. If you want accredited I would do Acellus, it’s more expensive but it’s worth it) Feel free to ask questions and I hope this helps!
@@kayaissimohey I know this is 2 months old. I’d like to homeschool my kids. The program you use is it a monthly payment or like yearly ? I’m pricing so many. Thank you if you end up seeing this.
@@WaxingGibbous170 yes! My program is 25 dollars a month and it includes 7 max classes. Although a downside is that it isn’t accredited for high school and you’ll need to do Acellus Academy if your planning to homeschool your kids in high school.
Thanks for this, it’s easy to get discouraged when you don’t fit the “mold”. My husband is a fireman, and I’m a nurse. Yet we homeschool our kids and live in the city. Like you said do what works for your family! Highly recommend reading the book Anyone Can Homeschool. It’s a wonderful Christian book that pretty much gives no excuses as to why we can’t homeschool. We can do it! ❤
I homeschool my kiddos. What would you say are your favorite parts of homeschooling? What does your mom do that makes you appreciate homeschooling? Would you change anything?
@@lmcr9903 um I really I can spend more time with my mom and also some curriculum i use is for math I use Saxon we do something in notgrass and I like everything we do we even go to the co-op on Fridays
@@lmcr9903I know I’m not her but I’ll gladly answer -I understand curriculum, and the teachers are in the screen so they can’t verbally hiss at you when you’re getting bored and fidgeting and things. Also finishing 2-5 months early -my mom pitched the idea, didn’t like it at first. Got severely depressed and burnt out and now I can take breaks whenever I want to. -I would change that my homeschool program doesn’t actually tell you what grade you’re in. But other than that I’m good lol
I was a school teacher and all that organization is about 1% of what I did. Definitely homeschool your kids. Love them, educate them, and be there for them. So many parents believe that school will take care of their learning, but this is a huge misconception and even an impossible task for teachers since we easily have over 100 students.
Read the book “hold on to your kids” (by G.Neufeld and G.Maté) to learn more about why society pressures parents so much to “socialize” their kids by exposing them to peers. Kids do not have to be surrounded by kids every single day to be “socialized” and I really wish people would stop threatening parents with that.
As someone who was homeschooled k-12 I **strongly** disagree. It was genuinely traumatizing only ever being able to talk to my family (I know how silly that sounds, but I literally have to be medicated for this) and literally nobody else, and almost all of my mental health issues link back to my social isolation. If I'm by myself for more than 5 minutes I immediately start to dissociate because my brain can't handle the stress of being alone. I do agree that there are some situations where homeschooling is 100% necessary, but isolating your children will never not hurt them. Find someone like-minded, find homeschool-specific clubs if you must, but make sure that they have a chance to make (irl) friends because I was literally suicidal at 10 over this shit
@@firstnamelastname-vf1nd I’m sorry you felt neglected by your mom but I never said children should be isolated. My point is that kids don’t need to be around peers every single day. My kids are involved in extra curricular activities like sports, and other activities offered by our community. They’re around peers they know and trust multiple days a week, but kids do not need to be surrounded by kids their age for 6-8 hours a day, Monday through Friday to be “socialized”.
Don’t try to run your homeschool like traditional school. The biggest reward from homeschooling is you being your child’s greatest influence instead of their peers. I homeschooled two and people are surprised when learning that they were homeschooled. Every child has different needs.
Sorry but the thing about homeschool is that you run it how it works best for your family! Yet homeschool moms come in and ruin it saying you need to unschool or do Charlotte Mason etc…each family is unique and so is each child. We’ve homeschooled 3 years. I’m not new and this works well for us. The curriculums I use are a blend of Charlotte Mason and more traditional and include hands-on things as well. You can’t judge someone’s life or homeschool off of a 30sec video
@@AshbayFam You misunderstood what I was saying. I agree that you should do what works for your family. From my experience when I first started homeschooling my children 12 years ago, I was trying to teach them like they would be taught at traditional school and it was exhausting for them. I broke it down to 2-3 subjects a day and gave them half days on Friday and I received a better response. I said nothing about unschooling. As a result, my oldest is fluent in Japanese, German, and Spanish. My youngest was reading at a college level when he was 9 and is a black belt about to graduate as a martial arts instructor at 16. I wanted them to have a chance to discover their passions.
@@AshbayFam She was not judging you; she was contributing to your message about trying according to your individual needs. Nuance sometimes gets lost in text.
@@newdayze3717 what did you us3 to teach reading? I have so many things it's hard to keep on one thing I have teaching your child to read and 100 lessons I have Bob books I have hooked on phonics. I jave teach ypu child to read in 20 lessons. All about spelling. And then we just read books togetber. Its so hard to stick wigh one. Whay did you wnd up doing to teach child to read by age 9? Thats incredible
I can agree. After 11 years of homeschooling, I have finally learned to “let my hair down”, because I was so rigid and trying to mimic the public school system that I experienced a burn out starting 3 years ago. I have slowly come out of the burn out, but I just do what is best for us and strongly emphasize life applicable skills because that is reality. My oldest will be 18 soon and graduating from homeschool so I guess I did ok 🤭😂. I do tell him that is learning, wisdom, and knowledge is a life long achievement. You NEVER stop learning.
I was homeschooled k-12 and I will probably be in therapy a lot longer than that in order to detangle a lot of the damage. My mom thought having me una few coops here and there, but it’s truly an isolating experience to be home all day. Think of what the shutdown felt like, but with no end in sight till you graduate.
I’m sorry you had that experience. My kids have co-op, play dates, church, church group with friends, and multiple sports. We actually just went to cheer on my sons friends who play football tonight. So while I’m sorry you had a bad experience, that is not every homeschool experience 🤗
Homeschooling mothers should not have to feel like they need to list out all the busyness to prove themselves. People can be just as isolated and damaged (if not more) going to public school. Those who were homeschooled all their lives often have the “grass is greener” mentality about public schoolers because they just DON’T know. I went to public school, private school, and was homeschooled, so I have experienced it all. The grass is NOT greener on any particular side. You have to make the most of what you have, and refrain from that victim mentality so you can constantly move forward. If you feel like you had a “damaging” life experience, it’s so easy to blame our parents for sending us to public school, private school, or homeschooling us, etc. None of us have perfect lives. So go ahead and get your therapy. I’ve had clinical therapy for MUCH worse than being a bored homeschooler. And even much worse than bloody fights and bomb threats at the elementary school I worked at in 2008. Therapy for things that had nothing to do with my “schooling”. And living in Parkland, FL when the MSD shooting happened, my friends who were mothers of those public school students who attended that school, who watched their public school friends get murdered are STILL in therapy. Therapy for homeschoolers, therapy for public schoolers, doesn’t matter. We ALL need it for something.
@@JuniperLynn789considering how unwilling you were to show basic empathy to someone sharing their trauma, I'm really praying that your kids have someone else to go to (not that you should have to list the people in their lives! I know you're sensitive to that 🫠) when they're having issues. Sadly considering how defensive you got there, I'm not sure I can really bet on that. Hope they can still have a good life regardless of your lacking emotional intelligence
Hey genwithag , let me guess you weren’t homeschooled ? Guess what, you aren’t an adult who was homeschooled their whole life so you don’t get to tell everyone how they should feel about their own experience. I was homeschooled k-12 and I am NEVER homeschooling my kids in middle and high school due to how lonely and isolating it is. It is HARDLY ideal.
I'm going to give you all some advice. I was homeschooled until 5th grade and was given little to no social interaction. My eldest brother had plenty, but my siblings and I didn't have all that much. We were just expected to cheer on our brother while all of our interests weren't considered. I wanted to play soccer but they wouldn't let me. They would let me do art related activities, but they wouldn't let me do sports or join any clubs. Even those didn't last long and I was a good kid. My siblings got to do 4-H. I didn't. I couldn't really do anything since I was "young". The only people I got to talk to were adults and even then I couldn't talk to them. I didn't really have people I could call my "friends". Then they would get mad whenever my siblings made friends online. If you shelter them to the point where they have to beg to go outside, don't get angry when they make friends online. Along with that I didn't get a good education during those years. I was just expected to "know". I had to read and just "know". I didn't get help with my school work and I didn't know what was going on. I would ask my parents and they wouldn't really do anything. All the attention went to my siblings because they had autism and disabilities. I was just forgotten because I wasn't disabled. After spending years convincing them, I finally was able to go to private school before moving to a public school. Then whenever I was behind and the way they taught school, they would get mad at my grades even though it was completely their fault I was struggling. I was trying...really! Here is some advice: When you homeschool, make sure it's the best thing to do for your kids. It's great you want to challenge your kids and give them the best education possible, but if they don't have any friends and can't go out and do stuff, it's not worth it. Your kids will grow up to be miserable and lonely just like I did. Trust me. If you can't balance your child's social and academic life, it's probably best to enroll them in a private or public school. Homeschooling isn't for everyone just like public schooling isn't for everyone. Also, STICK WITH IT. Let your kids engage in the activity. Don't just set them in front of a computer or book all day. That only hurts them. Instead, actually teach and then have them do that stuff. Let them ask questions. Let them ask for help. Let them do projects. Let them have friends. Let them do different things. If you chose to homeschool your kids, there should be no reason you can't let them have a good social life. No excuses.
I am sorry to you experienced that. That seems very tough situation. I wish your parents were there to help you with your needs. I was not homeschooled. I live in a country where homeschooling is banned still. I went to private boarding school for 12 years. And I had a very tough experience there. Struggle of connecting with friends. I felt very isolated and lonely. I had opportunity to join clubs and other things, which I was grateful for, but socialization is not promised just because you go to normal school. My struggle also comes from my parents who were not so interested in my life, but there are many sides to this problem, not just homeschooling or traditional school. The most important thing is for children to know their parents care and love them. Without that, socialization is hard even where there is people around you I hope you are doing well now
@@kinakonako360 This is so true. I'm not sure why home-schooled people assume that public and private school are so much better. As someone that has experience with private and public school I would have gladly been home-schooled instead. The "friends" and "socializing" in school are not as important as one would think. Even the most popular people all forget each other and move on with their lives. We will meet hundreds, if not thousands of people in our lifetimes and not even be able to recall all of their names. The love of good parents is far more important. Not peers. Not even how much stuff we learn in school... Because let's be real, we forget a lot of that also. What better way to be a good parent than to spend time with your child, educating them personally? In any case, my very best friend is the Lord Jesus Christ and He has never, ever let me down. He is the only one that gave His life for all of us. John 15:13 KJV - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
I am so sorry you had to live in a country in which your parents were allowed to do this and you ( and your disabled siblings as well) did not have the right to a formal education. Much love from EU.❤
@@kathrinscharrer3923 The original purpose of the US education system was to teach people to read so that they could have the freedom to read the Bible for themselves. Everything is so backwards now that education trains people to turn their back on their Creator. Public and private schooling did nothing for me other than waste years of my life that I wish I could get back. Praise the Lord that the "indoctrination" didn't work. 1 Corinthians 1:20-21 KJV [20]Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? [21]For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
You're amazing. It was my wish to homeschool mine but unfortunately my husband didn't agree. However now my oldest child is finishing their primary education we are both in agreement for home learning for secondary education. I'm feeling very overwhelmed atm with never having done it before and having to start out with a 12 yr old.
@@user-lt1jd1ye3v going to public schools does not promise socialization. There’s a loneliness epidemic among kids that are not homeschooled, 73% of Gen Z say they feel alone. Whether a child is homeschooled or not, a parent must be intentional on mediating their kid’s socialization. Public Schools will not do that for kids naturally.
😂 I fit all of the homeschooling mom stereotypes you mentioned, but I love it. Those all developed after my decision to homeschool was solidified when I was in college. Your last tip about making the curriculum work for you and your kids is absolutely critical.
To me homeschooling is taking a lot of happiness and new experience from your child it's like robbing them from so many developmental activities, including being on their own figuring out things on their own , being independent etc etc
Thank you!! You’re superwoman and I definitely want to look into homeschooling as an option! It now seems possible to me because of your encouragement!
I’m planning on homeschooling this fall and I might do that with all of my kids. I’m so nervous about it but I think it would be best for our family. This is so encouraging!! I need all the advice. I love how organized you are.
nervousness is normal for doing anything new! You can do it ! Spend the next few months researching, looking into home school groups in your area ! (BTW, I am not homeschooling children but if I had school age children, I certainly would be doing it!
Right!!! I'm completely different than my homeschool friends. I sleep in, sometimes we start at 10AM and sometimes 2PM, and I prioritize going out and playdates. Do what you want
Homeschool mom of 1 kid. This is our 5th year and about to approach his sophomore year. We do early morning and mostly winter hours full time because he works part time.
It's the best! I love it! I have 2 preschoolers and two kindergartners. They're thriving from the good and the beautiful. My 4th grader who we realized is behind on his reading level once we pulled him out of public school, is now catching up with the beautiful and it is truly helping him. He actually is starting to enjoy reading now.
I do homeschool and I love it! I used to do full time public school, but it wasn’t the right fit for me so I am now at a Christian co-school which means I am homeschooled 3 days a week and I go into school for like 2 hours 2 times a week
I love your setting!! We have a small house so we use our small dining room and table for everything. I homeschool 3 and 6 years old. Now I am expecting twins! 😂 I don't know if I can survive. Haha Thanks for the video
Oh my goodness I homeschooled my son in first grade and he wanted to do nothing 😭 well long story short! The school in our area called him in to do a reading test, he knew nothing!! So when to school after Easter vacation, completed... Then started second grade and succeeded!! Now he's bored, so I decided to go with CCA wish me luck 👍
As a head covered, skirt wearing, homesteading, super crunchy Christian mom of five, I feel so bad that you felt like you “can’t “homeschool for so long! I feel like that was a lie that was whispered in your ear! Kids close to their mommies. But you conquered your fears, and everything is looking Awesome!
Another thing you should know is that many of us (even the crunchy skirt wearing kind) don't have an immaculate separate homeschool room with perfectly matched desks for each child. 😂
My mom was a DJ in clubs in the 80s in Southern California and homeschooled us while making sure we knew the lyrics to the Run-DMC discography. She certainly didn’t fit the homeschool image but it worked really well for our lives for a while.
I pray to God I stay dedicated and learn how to do this so I can stay committed and keep my kids home schooled successfully and watch them grow into their best selves I love the video. 🖤
i want to homeschool so bad, its just my parents dont have enough money, im so tired of socializing of those students the same age as me, i feel like im out of place or im just too mature
@@FoodShowFanIt's entirely possible that your school district has a free online version of school available. Unfortunately you'll likely have to stick to their schedule so you wouldn't have the opportunity to graduate early if that's what you want, but it's an option.
Curriculum is so important i was homeschooled and as I got older my parents just said “if you want to be acedemicly on par with other kids you need to take this number of classes” then after that I got to chose how I took the class which curriculum I used and anything extra was 100% up to me
I never thought of any of those reason that would make me feel like I cannot homeschool. For me, it’s me thinking that I didn’t go to college and not sure I am capable or “smart enough”. Also, I’m super undisciplined!!!!
undisciplined may be a problem, but not having a college education won't -- you can learn along with your child and/or enroll him in internet classes or co-ops
Definitely make sure you can keep at it (and/or admit if it doesn't end up working) before you commit! My mom burnt out by the time we got to multiplication, and up until this year (19) I never learned any science, history, never had p.e. or anything. The only reason I finished my education was because I enrolled in my community college's GED program. Homeschooling can be great in some circumstances and literally life-ruining in others, and a lot of that is up to the parents! Make sure that you're super prepared and have a backup plan or two ready to go when things get rough!
I’m def not a typical “homeschool parent” but my daughter was in a pretty bad accident and we had no choice .. the kids at school (and the teachers honestly) were not very nice about her being out from school so we just kept it that way .. we did pay big $$ for private school so .. I guess in a way it’s better but very nervous to be responsible for her education.. I will be seeking out all resources! lol I’m a single parent already and have a great career so I’m sure I can do it it’s just going to be a lot .. fortunately my daughter is 13 and had a pretty solid foundation already so just building on that.. I’m actually really excited to teach her all the things I wish they showed us in high school … and when we move to California in a year or so maybe she’ll want to go back. Maybe not. Ultimately it’s up to her, I’m not going to force my kid to do something one way when it can be done 10 other ways..
Hi could you share what would be good for a 2.5 month old boy to start with ? I would like him to Learn to read, he loves books/story time but loses interest once I start to sound out letters or show him words . Once it becomes too focused on one page he loses Interest, and has not paid attention to flash cards/sight words yet.
@@FoodShowFan so the good and the beautiful have a RUclips channel with kids letter sound videos, my son watches them (2) and sits in on our preschool lessons for one of my other littles. He already has the abc s sound song almost memorized. We also play letter sound games, using index cards to exercise the understanding of letter sounds and put them into application. Sometimes the game might be “clean the room” where we toss the letter sounds in the air and make the sounds to clean them up- other times is a trail of index cards sounded out to get to the reward on the other side- like a sweet treat/ toy…. The thing to remember with toddlers is their attention span is very small- so it’s best to go at their pace and not push or rush. I literally just started our son off with having him watch the videos and then sitting quietly with him drawing letters on a tracing board and making their sounds with silly faces. He loved it. The silly faces kept him entertained while learning, and now he’s trying to say the letter sound with a silly face. You can really get creative…. I also pull out a sheet of paper and copy some of the letter pages from the preschool curriculum but you can easily draw a large letter and if he’s able sit with him and glue pipe cleaners to the page over the letters, or beans. The big thing I push though for my son is lots of sensory play. Like a kinetic sand and his toy trucks, or his dinosaurs. Sometimes I’ll bury them in the sand and have him find them with a spoon. There are tons of recipes for sensory ideas on Pinterest as well. I hope y’all have a good time. Take care.
“If you’re interested in becoming a homeschool social media mom then I am the gal for you because I am so good at exploding my children for money without making you think that you’re exploiting your children for money”😂😂😂
I wished I could attend homeschool instead public schools because the issues with my class, also the teachers that they like putting us pressure and stress. And don't forget about probability to get bullied for something....
I married a homeschooler so this'll be interesting. I hate what the public school systems have become so I'm all in. Just nervous having lost my ability to write and having severe memory loss, wasn't sure what type of help I can even provide or what help I need to reach out for in order to homeschool these monkeys.
I hate school I hate going I hate everything about it I’ve always wanted to be home school but I have a lot of friends I don’t want to loose but I would love to be homeschooled
You are so amazing and you are someone I definitely look up to and appreciate! Thank you for your time to make these videos!! I'm hitting a rough patch in my new homeschooling Journey and you're absolutely right it's our day make it fit our way thank you so much I hope you and your family continue to be blessed❤❤
I am scared of being a bad mom because I’m don’t have a good education with school AT ALL…I’m more creative than smart with math and stuff…I guess I’m venting and I thought about doing online school when they need to get into non creative things after they’re done being a toddler to know more important thing and I can teach history im sure and cool creative chemistry DIYs but I don’t wanna be judged by people because someone else is teaching my children big things..I’d be there listening they will be by me as I cook and etc so I know they’re being smart and safe. I’m trying my best to be good for the future but it’s so very stress learning the stuff in schools they teach nowadays it’s so unnecessary to know : ( and draining but once I get a laptop and stuff I wanna tru ti find a good program to catch up on basics I need to know…
Just came across your page and I Love your videos. We are in the process of making the switch to homeschool and I am beyond terrified and excited at the same time. I am a SAHM of two so my questions to you are, As a mom who is home with the kids all day how do you not get burnt out or resentful about the fact that you never clock out. What are your outlets to help you still be you ?
Answer is Jesus! Only in His presence can anyone get rest. I also am a stay at home mom with all boys and nothing compares to Jesus. Prayer, worship, reading the word, praise throughout the day.
Many times the free stuff is cheap and low quality. So it makes sense to be suspicious of public school. Paying doesn't guarantee quality, either, but the point stands, free is often not good quality and you have to keep an eye on it instead of depending on it to babysit/teach your kids. You shouldn’t be passive about it if you send your kids there.
I love this! I’m hoping to homeschool but definitely feel intimidated. Would love to see more homeschool videos / how tos from you! God bless you & your fam
I tutor students that are homeschooled and it it so sweet to see how they are able to be their age, nit have too much to worry about, and are allowed to develop their own interests!!!

Then you can just print out a couple of papers, fill those out and literally if your an in person type, walk right into the actual public school where their going or email them. In person usually works way faster obviously.
Then make a request for all your child’s records at local school district and they HAVE to get all the files from when they were little ready for you to pick up. Everyone was super nice and I didn’t get anyone putting up a fight or get a single glare for taking my child out so don’t be afraid!!

@@dasaadzidk if your still considering homeschooling but as a homeschooler myself I have not felt bad whatsoever. I’m almost done with the grade I’m in, and it’s all gonna be worth it.
I would say that if your kid is older and they don’t have a phone yet I would invest in one because that’s the only way I talk to old friends.
If your kid is young then Co-oPs. But generally I think if they’re in school and they enjoy it then I wouldn’t recommend, but if it’s easier for you I would talk to your child and tell them about the idea.
Also figure out the laws in your state for homeschoolers because some states are stricter than others.

@@WaxingGibbous170 yes! My program is 25 dollars a month and it includes 7 max classes.
Although a downside is that it isn’t accredited for high school and you’ll need to do Acellus Academy if your planning to homeschool your kids in high school.
Thanks for this, it’s easy to get discouraged when you don’t fit the “mold”. My husband is a fireman, and I’m a nurse. Yet we homeschool our kids and live in the city. Like you said do what works for your family! Highly recommend reading the book Anyone Can Homeschool. It’s a wonderful Christian book that pretty much gives no excuses as to why we can’t homeschool. We can do it! ❤
I’m homeschooled and I love it we wake up at like 7:00 and then we start at 8:00 and normally end at like 12:30 /1:00
I homeschool my kiddos. What would you say are your favorite parts of homeschooling? What does your mom do that makes you appreciate homeschooling? Would you change anything?
@@lmcr9903 um I really I can spend more time with my mom and also some curriculum i use is for math I use Saxon we do something in notgrass and I like everything we do we even go to the co-op on Fridays
@@lmcr9903I know I’m not her but I’ll gladly answer
-I understand curriculum, and the teachers are in the screen so they can’t verbally hiss at you when you’re getting bored and fidgeting and things. Also finishing 2-5 months early
-my mom pitched the idea, didn’t like it at first. Got severely depressed and burnt out and now I can take breaks whenever I want to.
-I would change that my homeschool program doesn’t actually tell you what grade you’re in. But other than that I’m good lol
I was a school teacher and all that organization is about 1% of what I did. Definitely homeschool your kids. Love them, educate them, and be there for them. So many parents believe that school will take care of their learning, but this is a huge misconception and even an impossible task for teachers since we easily have over 100 students.
Read the book “hold on to your kids” (by G.Neufeld and G.Maté) to learn more about why society pressures parents so much to “socialize” their kids by exposing them to peers. Kids do not have to be surrounded by kids every single day to be “socialized” and I really wish people would stop threatening parents with that.
I'm definitely getting the book.
As someone who was homeschooled k-12 I **strongly** disagree. It was genuinely traumatizing only ever being able to talk to my family (I know how silly that sounds, but I literally have to be medicated for this) and literally nobody else, and almost all of my mental health issues link back to my social isolation. If I'm by myself for more than 5 minutes I immediately start to dissociate because my brain can't handle the stress of being alone. I do agree that there are some situations where homeschooling is 100% necessary, but isolating your children will never not hurt them. Find someone like-minded, find homeschool-specific clubs if you must, but make sure that they have a chance to make (irl) friends because I was literally suicidal at 10 over this shit
@@firstnamelastname-vf1nd where did I say that it was good to isolate your kids?
@@MrsHousemaam not directly but the wording of your comment is the exact way my mom would always excuse it.
@@firstnamelastname-vf1nd I’m sorry you felt neglected by your mom but I never said children should be isolated. My point is that kids don’t need to be around peers every single day. My kids are involved in extra curricular activities like sports, and other activities offered by our community. They’re around peers they know and trust multiple days a week, but kids do not need to be surrounded by kids their age for 6-8 hours a day, Monday through Friday to be “socialized”.
So many people need to hear this!! ♥️
I agree!!
Don’t try to run your homeschool like traditional school. The biggest reward from homeschooling is you being your child’s greatest influence instead of their peers. I homeschooled two and people are surprised when learning that they were homeschooled. Every child has different needs.
Sorry but the thing about homeschool is that you run it how it works best for your family! Yet homeschool moms come in and ruin it saying you need to unschool or do Charlotte Mason etc…each family is unique and so is each child. We’ve homeschooled 3 years. I’m not new and this works well for us. The curriculums I use are a blend of Charlotte Mason and more traditional and include hands-on things as well. You can’t judge someone’s life or homeschool off of a 30sec video
@@AshbayFam You misunderstood what I was saying. I agree that you should do what works for your family. From my experience when I first started homeschooling my children 12 years ago, I was trying to teach them like they would be taught at traditional school and it was exhausting for them. I broke it down to 2-3 subjects a day and gave them half days on Friday and I received a better response. I said nothing about unschooling. As a result, my oldest is fluent in Japanese, German, and Spanish. My youngest was reading at a college level when he was 9 and is a black belt about to graduate as a martial arts instructor at 16. I wanted them to have a chance to discover their passions.
@@AshbayFam She was not judging you; she was contributing to your message about trying according to your individual needs. Nuance sometimes gets lost in text.
@@newdayze3717 what did you us3 to teach reading? I have so many things it's hard to keep on one thing I have teaching your child to read and 100 lessons I have Bob books I have hooked on phonics. I jave teach ypu child to read in 20 lessons. All about spelling. And then we just read books togetber. Its so hard to stick wigh one. Whay did you wnd up doing to teach child to read by age 9? Thats incredible
@@sarahs7253 Find out what your child is interested in and they will love reading that. Center their learning around their interests.
How did you all get started with homeschooling? I want to start for my son who is five and has ADHD and a High functioning autism sweetheart.
I can agree. After 11 years of homeschooling, I have finally learned to “let my hair down”, because I was so rigid and trying to mimic the public school system that I experienced a burn out starting 3 years ago. I have slowly come out of the burn out, but I just do what is best for us and strongly emphasize life applicable skills because that is reality. My oldest will be 18 soon and graduating from homeschool so I guess I did ok 🤭😂. I do tell him that is learning, wisdom, and knowledge is a life long achievement. You NEVER stop learning.
Wow! Congratulations!!! And wow!!
I was homeschooled k-12 and I will probably be in therapy a lot longer than that in order to detangle a lot of the damage. My mom thought having me una few coops here and there, but it’s truly an isolating experience to be home all day. Think of what the shutdown felt like, but with no end in sight till you graduate.
I’m sorry you had that experience. My kids have co-op, play dates, church, church group with friends, and multiple sports. We actually just went to cheer on my sons friends who play football tonight. So while I’m sorry you had a bad experience, that is not every homeschool experience 🤗
Very good points! Thank you for sharing !
Homeschooling mothers should not have to feel like they need to list out all the busyness to prove themselves. People can be just as isolated and damaged (if not more) going to public school. Those who were homeschooled all their lives often have the “grass is greener” mentality about public schoolers because they just DON’T know. I went to public school, private school, and was homeschooled, so I have experienced it all. The grass is NOT greener on any particular side. You have to make the most of what you have, and refrain from that victim mentality so you can constantly move forward. If you feel like you had a “damaging” life experience, it’s so easy to blame our parents for sending us to public school, private school, or homeschooling us, etc. None of us have perfect lives. So go ahead and get your therapy. I’ve had clinical therapy for MUCH worse than being a bored homeschooler. And even much worse than bloody fights and bomb threats at the elementary school I worked at in 2008. Therapy for things that had nothing to do with my “schooling”.
And living in Parkland, FL when the MSD shooting happened, my friends who were mothers of those public school students who attended that school, who watched their public school friends get murdered are STILL in therapy.
Therapy for homeschoolers, therapy for public schoolers, doesn’t matter. We ALL need it for something.
@@JuniperLynn789considering how unwilling you were to show basic empathy to someone sharing their trauma, I'm really praying that your kids have someone else to go to (not that you should have to list the people in their lives! I know you're sensitive to that 🫠) when they're having issues. Sadly considering how defensive you got there, I'm not sure I can really bet on that. Hope they can still have a good life regardless of your lacking emotional intelligence
Hey genwithag , let me guess you weren’t homeschooled ? Guess what, you aren’t an adult who was homeschooled their whole life so you don’t get to tell everyone how they should feel about their own experience. I was homeschooled k-12 and I am NEVER homeschooling my kids in middle and high school due to how lonely and isolating it is. It is HARDLY ideal.
I'm going to give you all some advice. I was homeschooled until 5th grade and was given little to no social interaction. My eldest brother had plenty, but my siblings and I didn't have all that much. We were just expected to cheer on our brother while all of our interests weren't considered. I wanted to play soccer but they wouldn't let me. They would let me do art related activities, but they wouldn't let me do sports or join any clubs. Even those didn't last long and I was a good kid. My siblings got to do 4-H. I didn't. I couldn't really do anything since I was "young". The only people I got to talk to were adults and even then I couldn't talk to them. I didn't really have people I could call my "friends". Then they would get mad whenever my siblings made friends online. If you shelter them to the point where they have to beg to go outside, don't get angry when they make friends online.
Along with that I didn't get a good education during those years. I was just expected to "know". I had to read and just "know". I didn't get help with my school work and I didn't know what was going on. I would ask my parents and they wouldn't really do anything. All the attention went to my siblings because they had autism and disabilities. I was just forgotten because I wasn't disabled.
After spending years convincing them, I finally was able to go to private school before moving to a public school. Then whenever I was behind and the way they taught school, they would get mad at my grades even though it was completely their fault I was struggling. I was trying...really!
Here is some advice: When you homeschool, make sure it's the best thing to do for your kids. It's great you want to challenge your kids and give them the best education possible, but if they don't have any friends and can't go out and do stuff, it's not worth it. Your kids will grow up to be miserable and lonely just like I did. Trust me. If you can't balance your child's social and academic life, it's probably best to enroll them in a private or public school. Homeschooling isn't for everyone just like public schooling isn't for everyone. Also, STICK WITH IT. Let your kids engage in the activity. Don't just set them in front of a computer or book all day. That only hurts them. Instead, actually teach and then have them do that stuff. Let them ask questions. Let them ask for help. Let them do projects. Let them have friends. Let them do different things. If you chose to homeschool your kids, there should be no reason you can't let them have a good social life. No excuses.
I am sorry to you experienced that. That seems very tough situation. I wish your parents were there to help you with your needs.
I was not homeschooled. I live in a country where homeschooling is banned still. I went to private boarding school for 12 years. And I had a very tough experience there. Struggle of connecting with friends. I felt very isolated and lonely. I had opportunity to join clubs and other things, which I was grateful for, but socialization is not promised just because you go to normal school. My struggle also comes from my parents who were not so interested in my life, but there are many sides to this problem, not just homeschooling or traditional school. The most important thing is for children to know their parents care and love them. Without that, socialization is hard even where there is people around you
I hope you are doing well now
@@kinakonako360
This is so true. I'm not sure why home-schooled people assume that public and private school are so much better. As someone that has experience with private and public school I would have gladly been home-schooled instead. The "friends" and "socializing" in school are not as important as one would think. Even the most popular people all forget each other and move on with their lives. We will meet hundreds, if not thousands of people in our lifetimes and not even be able to recall all of their names. The love of good parents is far more important. Not peers. Not even how much stuff we learn in school... Because let's be real, we forget a lot of that also. What better way to be a good parent than to spend time with your child, educating them personally?
In any case, my very best friend is the Lord Jesus Christ and He has never, ever let me down. He is the only one that gave His life for all of us.
John 15:13 KJV - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
@@believestthouthis7You have ideological reasons for deserting plural society education, period.
I am so sorry you had to live in a country in which your parents were allowed to do this and you ( and your disabled siblings as well) did not have the right to a formal education.
Much love from EU.❤
@@kathrinscharrer3923
The original purpose of the US education system was to teach people to read so that they could have the freedom to read the Bible for themselves. Everything is so backwards now that education trains people to turn their back on their Creator.
Public and private schooling did nothing for me other than waste years of my life that I wish I could get back. Praise the Lord that the "indoctrination" didn't work.
1 Corinthians 1:20-21 KJV
[20]Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
[21]For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
I don't fit the stereotypes either, but i never really cared. Lol I'm a happy, homeschooling Mama to 6, in our 4th year of Homeschooling! ❤
You're amazing. It was my wish to homeschool mine but unfortunately my husband didn't agree. However now my oldest child is finishing their primary education we are both in agreement for home learning for secondary education. I'm feeling very overwhelmed atm with never having done it before and having to start out with a 12 yr old.
Please do not homeschool your kid in middle and high school. Please let them go to school and have a chance at socialization.
@@user-lt1jd1ye3v going to public schools does not promise socialization. There’s a loneliness epidemic among kids that are not homeschooled, 73% of Gen Z say they feel alone.
Whether a child is homeschooled or not, a parent must be intentional on mediating their kid’s socialization. Public Schools will not do that for kids naturally.
😂 I fit all of the homeschooling mom stereotypes you mentioned, but I love it. Those all developed after my decision to homeschool was solidified when I was in college.
Your last tip about making the curriculum work for you and your kids is absolutely critical.
To me homeschooling is taking a lot of happiness and new experience from your child it's like robbing them from so many developmental activities, including being on their own figuring out things on their own , being independent etc etc
Thank you!! You’re superwoman and I definitely want to look into homeschooling as an option! It now seems possible to me because of your encouragement!
That makes me so happy!!
I’m planning on homeschooling this fall and I might do that with all of my kids. I’m so nervous about it but I think it would be best for our family. This is so encouraging!! I need all the advice. I love how organized you are.
nervousness is normal for doing anything new! You can do it ! Spend the next few months researching, looking into home school groups in your area ! (BTW, I am not homeschooling children but if I had school age children, I certainly would be doing it!
😂😂😂 it was the crunchy mom for me. 🎉🎉
I love your homeschool room ❤
Right!!! I'm completely different than my homeschool friends. I sleep in, sometimes we start at 10AM and sometimes 2PM, and I prioritize going out and playdates. Do what you want
Love the set up, so nice!
I was homeschooling and am homeschooling and I just want to say I love your bright cherry space! :)
Thank you for sharing! I needed to hear this video ❤️
Homeschool mom of 1 kid. This is our 5th year and about to approach his sophomore year. We do early morning and mostly winter hours full time because he works part time.
This is awesome, thank you for sharing. Keep up the excellent work your doing.
I see the Good & Beautiful. We just started preschool
Aww yay!!
It's the best! I love it! I have 2 preschoolers and two kindergartners. They're thriving from the good and the beautiful. My 4th grader who we realized is behind on his reading level once we pulled him out of public school, is now catching up with the beautiful and it is truly helping him. He actually is starting to enjoy reading now.
I saw that Horizons math-I love it!
I do homeschool and I love it! I used to do full time public school, but it wasn’t the right fit for me so I am now at a Christian co-school which means I am homeschooled 3 days a week and I go into school for like 2 hours 2 times a week
Needed to hear this also, thank you❣️
There are also charter schools. You go in a few days a week and stay home the rest
I love your setting!! We have a small house so we use our small dining room and table for everything. I homeschool 3 and 6 years old. Now I am expecting twins! 😂 I don't know if I can survive. Haha
Thanks for the video
I love your classroom area - it's well stocked!
You just helped me remember I have those clear dry erase sleeves!!!!!!
Your set up is super cute!
Amen Momma!!!!!!! We use the good &t he beautiful too!!! ❤❤❤
Beautiful homeschool space!
The fact my mom is a skirt wearing, van driving homeschooling mom.... XD She's not much of a crunchy mom but we dont get processed food a lot
And totally nothing wrong with that! It’s just so different from me that it made me feel like I wouldn’t be welcomed but that wasn’t true 🤗
Thank you so much for all you do ❤️🙏 you are awesome and your videos really support me
Oh my goodness I homeschooled my son in first grade and he wanted to do nothing 😭 well long story short! The school in our area called him in to do a reading test, he knew nothing!! So when to school after Easter vacation, completed...
Then started second grade and succeeded!!
Now he's bored, so I decided to go with CCA wish me luck 👍
You are incredible
I want to know what all the notebooks, activity books, and planners are in this video!
I think we’re the same person 😂 I’m also a laid back homeschooling mother of 5 🥳
As a head covered, skirt wearing, homesteading, super crunchy Christian mom of five, I feel so bad that you felt like you “can’t “homeschool for so long! I feel like that was a lie that was whispered in your ear! Kids close to their mommies. But you conquered your fears, and everything is looking Awesome!
Another thing you should know is that many of us (even the crunchy skirt wearing kind) don't have an immaculate separate homeschool room with perfectly matched desks for each child. 😂
My mom was a DJ in clubs in the 80s in Southern California and homeschooled us while making sure we knew the lyrics to the Run-DMC discography. She certainly didn’t fit the homeschool image but it worked really well for our lives for a while.
I pray to God I stay dedicated and learn how to do this so I can stay committed and keep my kids home schooled successfully and watch them grow into their best selves I love the video. 🖤
i want to homeschool so bad, its just my parents dont have enough money, im so tired of socializing of those students the same age as me, i feel like im out of place or im just too mature
There are completely free homeschooling curriculum online you can homeschool 😊 talk to your Mom about it and look them up
I did not know that , thank you!
@@FoodShowFanIt's entirely possible that your school district has a free online version of school available.
Unfortunately you'll likely have to stick to their schedule so you wouldn't have the opportunity to graduate early if that's what you want, but it's an option.
Love love love this! ❤️
Curriculum is so important i was homeschooled and as I got older my parents just said “if you want to be acedemicly on par with other kids you need to take this number of classes” then after that I got to chose how I took the class which curriculum I used and anything extra was 100% up to me
Thanks for what you said at the end.
I need to know where you got that shelf!!
Thank you , very helpful
I never thought of any of those reason that would make me feel like I cannot homeschool. For me, it’s me thinking that I didn’t go to college and not sure I am capable or “smart enough”. Also, I’m super undisciplined!!!!
undisciplined may be a problem, but not having a college education won't -- you can learn along with your child and/or enroll him in internet classes or co-ops
Definitely make sure you can keep at it (and/or admit if it doesn't end up working) before you commit! My mom burnt out by the time we got to multiplication, and up until this year (19) I never learned any science, history, never had p.e. or anything. The only reason I finished my education was because I enrolled in my community college's GED program. Homeschooling can be great in some circumstances and literally life-ruining in others, and a lot of that is up to the parents! Make sure that you're super prepared and have a backup plan or two ready to go when things get rough!
Great advice!!!
I’m def not a typical “homeschool parent” but my daughter was in a pretty bad accident and we had no choice .. the kids at school (and the teachers honestly) were not very nice about her being out from school so we just kept it that way .. we did pay big $$ for private school so .. I guess in a way it’s better but very nervous to be responsible for her education.. I will be seeking out all resources! lol I’m a single parent already and have a great career so I’m sure I can do it it’s just going to be a lot .. fortunately my daughter is 13 and had a pretty solid foundation already so just building on that.. I’m actually really excited to teach her all the things I wish they showed us in high school … and when we move to California in a year or so maybe she’ll want to go back. Maybe not. Ultimately it’s up to her, I’m not going to force my kid to do something one way when it can be done 10 other ways..
Thank you !
Question: what homeschool curriculum would you recommend for preschool?
The world ❤
The good and the beautiful. It's amazing.
I second the good and beautiful!
We love Preschool Prep! Proven results: our kiddo was saying the English alphabet by 18 months.
Hi!
Can you tell me where you purchased the bookshelf?
Thanks
Hey, where did you get your white ladder shelf? Love it!
Amazing
You are a force to be reckoned with. Your family is lucky to have you.❤️
I love that we’re using all the same stuff. ❤😂
Hi could you share what would be good for a 2.5 month old boy to start with ? I would like him to Learn to read, he loves books/story time but loses interest once I start to sound out letters or show him words . Once it becomes too focused on one page he loses Interest, and has not paid attention to flash cards/sight words yet.
@@FoodShowFan so the good and the beautiful have a RUclips channel with kids letter sound videos, my son watches them (2) and sits in on our preschool lessons for one of my other littles. He already has the abc s sound song almost memorized. We also play letter sound games, using index cards to exercise the understanding of letter sounds and put them into application. Sometimes the game might be “clean the room” where we toss the letter sounds in the air and make the sounds to clean them up- other times is a trail of index cards sounded out to get to the reward on the other side- like a sweet treat/ toy…. The thing to remember with toddlers is their attention span is very small- so it’s best to go at their pace and not push or rush. I literally just started our son off with having him watch the videos and then sitting quietly with him drawing letters on a tracing board and making their sounds with silly faces. He loved it. The silly faces kept him entertained while learning, and now he’s trying to say the letter sound with a silly face. You can really get creative…. I also pull out a sheet of paper and copy some of the letter pages from the preschool curriculum but you can easily draw a large letter and if he’s able sit with him and glue pipe cleaners to the page over the letters, or beans. The big thing I push though for my son is lots of sensory play. Like a kinetic sand and his toy trucks, or his dinosaurs. Sometimes I’ll bury them in the sand and have him find them with a spoon. There are tons of recipes for sensory ideas on Pinterest as well. I hope y’all have a good time. Take care.
Is there a certain curriculum you follow? I want to homeschool my three-year-old son but don’t know how to start. I do live in the same state as you.
Look up HSLDA and see what your state requirements are.
Read the book Anyone can homeschool. It’s a great place to start!
My biggest fear is my son being anti social. I have only one kiddo and I feel like it’s hard when it’s just one kid being homeschooled
Have you seen the modern day "socialized" kids out there lately? lol Don't feel any fear on that point, please.
“If you’re interested in becoming a homeschool social media mom then I am the gal for you because I am so good at exploding my children for money without making you think that you’re exploiting your children for money”😂😂😂
❤ Where did you get your white desk and bookshelf from
Please do an updated curriculum video! 🙏🏼😊
I wished I could attend homeschool instead public schools because the issues with my class, also the teachers that they like putting us pressure and stress. And don't forget about probability to get bullied for something....
Nice set up!
Love this
Homeschool room tour!!!
I married a homeschooler so this'll be interesting. I hate what the public school systems have become so I'm all in. Just nervous having lost my ability to write and having severe memory loss, wasn't sure what type of help I can even provide or what help I need to reach out for in order to homeschool these monkeys.
I love Horizon math! My kids really click with it!
wow the space 😮
I hate school I hate going I hate everything about it I’ve always wanted to be home school but I have a lot of friends I don’t want to loose but I would love to be homeschooled
I wanna homeschool so bad but not sure how to go about it as a medical professional since I will have to work a lot of hours
I wish I could give this more thumbs up!!!!!
You are so amazing and you are someone I definitely look up to and appreciate! Thank you for your time to make these videos!! I'm hitting a rough patch in my new homeschooling Journey and you're absolutely right it's our day make it fit our way thank you so much I hope you and your family continue to be blessed❤❤
Room is awesome
Thank you!
Will you be doing a video of the curriculum that you use or will be using for the upcoming school year?!?
Modesty is very beautiful young woman.
I SEE HORIZONS MATHHHHHHHHHH I WILL STAND BY THAT CURRICULUM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE AND I AM ONLY 16.
Can I ask where do you buy your booklets from? I would prefer BOOK WORK rather than online curriculum.
Thanks!
I am scared of being a bad mom because I’m don’t have a good education with school AT ALL…I’m more creative than smart with math and stuff…I guess I’m venting and I thought about doing online school when they need to get into non creative things after they’re done being a toddler to know more important thing and I can teach history im sure and cool creative chemistry DIYs but I don’t wanna be judged by people because someone else is teaching my children big things..I’d be there listening they will be by me as I cook and etc so I know they’re being smart and safe.
I’m trying my best to be good for the future but it’s so very stress learning the stuff in schools they teach nowadays it’s so unnecessary to know : ( and draining but once I get a laptop and stuff I wanna tru ti find a good program to catch up on basics I need to know…
Just came across your page and I Love your videos. We are in the process of making the switch to homeschool and I am beyond terrified and excited at the same time. I am a SAHM of two so my questions to you are, As a mom who is home with the kids all day how do you not get burnt out or resentful about the fact that you never clock out. What are your outlets to help you still be you ?
Answer is Jesus! Only in His presence can anyone get rest. I also am a stay at home mom with all boys and nothing compares to Jesus.
Prayer, worship, reading the word, praise throughout the day.
Do you have a curriculum overview?
Do your kids socialize with peers outside of family, family friends or video chat?
Many times the free stuff is cheap and low quality. So it makes sense to be suspicious of public school. Paying doesn't guarantee quality, either, but the point stands, free is often not good quality and you have to keep an eye on it instead of depending on it to babysit/teach your kids. You shouldn’t be passive about it if you send your kids there.
Which curriculum do you follow for your 1st and 2nd grader ?
I love this! I’m hoping to homeschool but definitely feel intimidated. Would love to see more homeschool videos / how tos from you!
God bless you & your fam
One what are those plastic covers called! I go through to many whiteboards! Two what online class websites are their for IEP children
Have you always home schooled them? And if so what made you switch to home school my 1st baby is only 9 months and I cannot wait to home school him
Also, you can train your kids to do all of the things she was doing in the video.
❤❤ Where are the kids table and chair from??
Nothing wrong with skirt wearing moms, and a van either, but I understand what u mean as well that it’s not a specific mold as to who can homeschool
